What was the best car you have owned?

For me it was an NSU Ro80. Bought it second hand (2 years old) but had to change the engine for an Audi 100 + Auto gearbox etc after a further 18 months. It ran for a further 180,000 miles with no trouble at all. Way ahead of its time in many respects.

 

for all round use

blue Minivan CPD 341T

 

current one skoda octavia 1.9 tdi

had it 4 years and 90000 miles, excellent in all respects.

 

I still miss mine

It was a British Motor Racing green Triumph Dollomite and I loved it! The bloody gear stick knob used to come off and smack me in the gob ( yeh, yeh, I can imagine the 'knob in gob' quips) everytime I put it into reverse. Still, I wish I'd never sold it!

 

The one I drive now...

Scoda Octavia 1.9 tdi well inpressed . had it 8 month n 20000 mile. company car hehehe
had a mark 3 golf which was first car i owned n that was preety good too.

 

Range Rover

</p>

in Africa for 10 years. Was used mainly off road and it was absolutely amazing. Knock spots off everything bar the Landrover.</p>

Dirt tracks, rivers, mud tracks, hills you could throw anything at it and it would cope. once towed a lorry out of a gully by the side of the road. wasn't till he was out that I realised he hadn't even switched his lorry on</p>

 

I've had..

Vauxhall Viva..so crap I was pulled by the coppers for owning the shabbiest car in South Yorks.. 1/10

Ford Cortina Mk4 2.0 GL with twin webbers and 8 spot lights. Fast as **** in a straight line but those corners.... 4/10

Triumph Acclaim..hand me down from mi fatha...hmm 3/10

Metro..hmm 2/10

Volvo 340...heavy, robust and ultimately crap..3/10

Peugeot 205 1.8D..feckin marvelous..light, fast, reliable and 60+ mpg..pity some tw@t ran into the back of it at 60mph. Got 1.5x what I paid for it in insurance but not able to replace...6/10

Citroen ZX 1.8D...sack of cack..well not too bad just not as good as the 205...4/10

Audi A4 2.6 V6 fast reliable and comfortable. Converted to run on LPG so get abart 60 to the gal (equiv) had it for almost 6 years and its never let me down. getting a bit tired now and needing a bit spent but I still like it....7/10

RE: Fiat 126.

Once went on holiday in a Fiat 126. Just finished our A level so me and 3 mates went to Scarborough for a week of mayhem.

How do you get 4 big blokes in a Fiat 126 - 2 in the back, 2 in the front and then pack around them, we could not move.

 

Kinell fire.

Richard Kell, with 2 broken legs, can run faster than a Fiat 126.

"What have you packed?"
"Just what I'm wearing - I had to put my toothbrush on the roofrack"

In my younger & more ridiculous days - a bunch of us once put a Fiat 126 in a skip.
I'm quite shamed by this now.
I've seen the error of my ways.

We should have put the skip in the Fiat 126.

 

Are we supposed to be impressed.

So, you put a 126 in a skip, christ, I've got 2 in my pockets and an erection.

When I say we went to Scabby for a week, what I meant to say was it took us a week to get to Scabby.

Pushing.

 

ferrari enzo admitidly it was a match box
